I Go Back

I heard that song on the way home from Park today. It made me think of you. I miss you.

***EDIT***

I think I've said before, but the song 'I Go Back' by Kenny Chesney is pretty much the theme of the scrapbook I'm working on, and have been working on for the past year and some odd months. I'm making a scrapbook of all the songs that over the years are important to me or are connected to memories that make me smile, or at least made me smile at one time. For a long time I have been wrestling with the idea of whether or not to include songs from the Drake era. Like it or not, that doofus was a part of my life, but I'd rather not give him such an important place in my history because he really doesn't deserve it. However, you can't change your past and he was there, for a time. I decided to include one song, but that's it, the others I was going to include at one time are being tossed by the wayside for people who are still important to me and actually matter in my life.

This song in particular pretty much captures exactly how I feel and even though it makes me sad, at the same time I have so many great memories of so many great people, I could never truly be alone.

I Go Back - Kenny Chesney
Jack and Diane" painted a picture of my life and my dreams
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause everytime I hear that song...

I go back to a two-toned short bed Chevy
Drivin my first love out to the levy
Livin life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back

I used to rock all night long to "Keep On Rockin Me Baby"
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin to impress the ladies
I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause every time I hear that song....

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
The taste of salt on the Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and I do recall
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back

We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time
So I go back to a pew,preacher, and a choir
Singin bout God, brimstone, and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church

And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back

To the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine, I go back

I go back
To watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and I do recall, I go back

I go back
To the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him, I go back

I go back

I go back, I go back
